Eurogamer: Cheaters find more ways to spoil everyone's fun in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

You are right, it was always a problem, but it feels like it was never this bad as in the past few weeks...
I can't of course not proof that, just seems so :)
The long distance sniping behind hills with a shotgun (?) or the fact that you aim with a crossbow at a random spot and it somehow hits you seconds later, i mean, the latter could be realistic with a static sniper rifle but obviously, nonsense.
For the rest the usual auto-aim stuff. And speedy revives? Yeah, some cheaters learn nothing. Essentially the lamest thing IRL you can get ''elite'' at. Except nobody but yourself will be cheering for it. Sad!

To be fair there are solutions they could implement that they haven't, the devs aren't faultless here at all. Ping lock would cut down on cheaters massively, and put a stop to people queuing on different regions for an advantage. Overnight the game would become so much more enjoyable. You shouldn't even be able to pick servers, it should just automatically put you on the lowest ping server that's available. Plus as I said earlier we need server side checks, obviously everything can't be there just not feasible, but some things clearly need to be.
Fair enough. And that is my point on the GOTY. If you are 1.0 then you are under a MUCH bigger microscope and sins are less forgiven when your game comes out of early access. When this game went to 1.0 it allowed it to receive final review scores of 10 out of 10's, and also allowed it to be in the running and win many GOTY Awards.
BUT if the 1.0 has this big of problems with cheaters, and it is driving players away players then the idea of Review Scores and GOTY Awards based only off of 1.0 kinda seems a little suspect that it is so celebrated with all these accolades, especially considering there is no way to play around it in regards to cheaters.
I hope not! We should all be able to play together! Xbox players demand cross play in games and they shouldn't be denied.
Uhh are you joking? Going up against pc players with a analogue stick isnt gonna work
So you're telling me a developer that has continually developed this game and is actively working to squash cheats (they have to figure out how to, and fixing these things does not come easy as you don't want to detect false positives, because that can be more fatal), adding content to the game and constantly supporting this game that's sold almost 30 million copies doesn't care about the game?
I really don't understand how people come to this conclusion, that they can't fix a cheat with a snap of their fingers, therefore they "don't care".
I'd take cheat free over crossplay any day. But they'll probably end up joining the servers at some point anyway.
What I would love to know is:
What percentage of the actual install base still have active accounts that aren't banned?
What's the ratio of active players from China to the rest of the world?
What's the percentage of loot boxes unlocked per region?
What's the percentage of items up for sale per region?
What percentage of the actual install base still have active accounts that aren't banned?
What's the ratio of active players from China to the rest of the world?
What's the percentage of loot boxes unlocked per region?
What's the percentage of items up for sale per region?
CS:GO's model should be an easy one to emulate. Min hours + phone verification to get into separate servers
FWIW, a couple of the questions you posed here are the kind of questions I see posters posing rhetorically in every second PUBG thread so as to imply that PUBG's actual level of success is in question.
Happen to me before, welp at least he's on my team but he didn't do anything useful besides instant res one of us.
we still lost because we couldn't climb the slopped hill since the circle was atop of it
regardless fuck cheaters and hackers.
Before we go accusing an entire country of cheating, are we absolutely sure that this isn't Clara's fault? All you have to do is leave your computer for 10 minutes for Clara to get in there.
It's sold gangbuster, that's a fact. I would never try to dispute that. I'm just wondering, how important China is for the future of the game. Maybe the dev doesn't care, so long as the Chinese keep giving them money.
If you even play this game for a certain amount of time you'd know its China. Hell recently a bunch of cheat makers just got arrested in China https://www.vg247.com/2018/01/16/tencent-helped-chinese-police-arrest-120-pubg-cheat-makers/
Edit: I just got your reference XD man that was so dumb when i found that on youtube.
It's true though. Almost all of the big MP games that release have higher populations on consoles than on PC. PC has a few that stay huge, but compare populations in things like COD, Battlefield, Gears, etc on consoles to PC and it's not even close.
Not this part, the "filled with cheaters" one. When you read some people, it's like you cant make a game without losing to cheaters when it's like total bullshit.
Some people go overboard sure, but compared to consoles cheating is much more prevalent. Some game have mass amounts of cheaters, and pubg is one of them. They just announced they're banning 100 000 cheaters didn't they?
